And sprinkled a bit of

Dan Nakamura fairy dust over it.

And Gorillaz was created.

And your jacket, and your jacket.

And your bag.

And my bag. Can't get my bag in here.

Get your bag in here.

Typical. Two weeks to animate...

They've had eight weeks to choose a song.

Don't you think that's enough time?

What, two weeks to animate a video?

What do you think?

Do you know how long it takes to animate?

Peter can only animate 2-D's mouth

singing the lyric

and his eyes blinking a bit, that's it.

Can't have him moving his body,

can't have him nodding his head.

Can't do anything like that.

We're both in agreement

on what should be the second single.

Well, the first proper single,

'cause this is supposed to be

a low-budget video,

and kind of a small release.

So what's the first proper single, then?

Clint Eastwood.

Russel, he's not based on anyone,

but he's got a lot of the things

that we like about hip-hop

from being sort of outsiders,

and looking into that world, you know?

And we gave him this special power

where he could summon up the spirits

of musicians dead or living.

With Del, he's alive,

but he's got a fear of flying,

so it's necessary to have Russel

as a conduit for him.

But in the future... Sorry, I've got hiccups.

In the future, I think Russel could,

you know, work with anyone from 2Pac

to Vanilla Ice, you know?

I've been talking to Nick Gold

from World Circuit Records,

who handles Buena Vista Social Club,

and Ibrahim Ferrer is gonna come down

and sing on the Latin track,

which is good.

Once it's got the clear track without me,

just feel it, the way that he wants to do it.

It's not my... Once he sings it,

it's not my song, it's his song.

A new phrase.

But a bit more...

It's nice, you know, it's...

73 years old, for a 73-year-old

to try something different for him.

Tom, if he's gonna carry over

onto the second verse,

then whatever the second verse,

it's gonna have to be

on different tracks, OK?

- It worked!

- It's good, though.

This is extremely important, Jamie.

Says he who hasn't got

his f***ing trousers on. Look at that!

I wouldn't worry about

putting on funny accents.

Doesn't matter. Not important. This guy...

We're supposed

to be the characters, aren't we?

- We'll just be...

- Be the character.

I mean, a little bit.

You've got to be 2-D,

so you've got to act like him, he's got to be...

They're not going to get it like that.

Trust me.

They don't get it in that way yet.

So it's important...

- in the picture...

- Yeah, of course, it's a serious interview.

And we will answer

all the questions seriously

and try to do a funny, cool interview.

But the characters have characters.
